Abstract: Compositions containing Enterobacter sp. SA187 and methods of use thereof to enhance plant development and yield under environmental stress conditions such as heat stress, are provided. The compositions include plant substrates containing an effective amount of Enterobacter sp. SA187 to inhibit or reduce abiotic stress in the plant. In a preferred embodiment suitable plant substrates include, but are not limited to soil, peat, compost, vermiculite, perlite, sand, clay and combinations thereof. Another embodiment provides plants inoculated with an amount of SA187 to provide abiotic stress tolerance, enhance yield, enhance biomass, or a combination thereof. Examples include non-desert plants which include but are not limited to crop plants that are not indigenous to desert environment.
